"It's not like it sounds." Hermione said shaking her head. "It's just a bit of a sore spot with him."
"Well tell us." Luna prompted.
"When he was in St. Mungo's, recovering from Nagini's bites, he was really bad off. He could hardly move, couldn't take care of himself." She broke off giggling.
"And….?" Luna prompted.
"He had three attendants to help him with…..things. Sponge baths and the like. And all three girls were from Hufflepuff." Hermione broke off in peels of laughter. "He's still mortified."
"Oh Merlin." Ginny was holding her side laughing. "Do we know any of them?"
"Megan Jones?"
"She was Hannah and Susan's dorm mate." Luna said excitedly.
"And she had to wash Snape's bits and pieces?" Ginny laughed.
"Yep." Hermione said laughing loudly, tears streaming down her face.
"Oh that's bloody brilliant." Ginny giggled, opening up the bottle of wine and pouring three generous glasses. "Well that didn't last long." She laughed holding up the already empty bottle. "Hey Maisy. Go tell Lu, Lush, and Luminous…Malfoy we need more wine. Blimey but that's a bit of a mouthful when your pissed." Ginny said shaking her head.
"It's a bit of a mouthful when you're not pissed." Hermione giggled. "Lu-see-iss" She pronounced carefully.
"I'm going to call him Luci." Luna said, taking a large drink of wine. The two other girls turned to stare at her incredulously. "After we're married." The blonde nodded her head.
"Yeah, good luck with that." Ginny rolled her eyes. "Yay. More wine." She cried out as Maisy returned.
"What are the men doing?" Hermione asked, taking the new bottle from the elf.
"They is drinking whisky and is smoking cigars."
"I want whiskey." Ginny pouted.
"What kind of cigars?" Hermione wondered.
"Maisy?" Ginny spun around quickly and slipped off the stairs, falling into the water. Standing up she wiped her wet hair out of her face. "Bugger me! I just fell down. Go tell Malfoy we want some Whiskey."
Luna and Hermione were laughing hysterically, holding onto each other to keep from falling into the pool themselves.
"I fall down and you're gonna take the piss out of me?" Ginny huffed.
"You went all arse over elbows." Hermione cried out, wiping the tears from her eyes. "It was the funniest thing."
Maisy apparate back into the room, her ears were drooping and she was wringing her hands together.
"What's wrong Maisy?" Luna asked gently.
"Master Malfoy says no whiskey for drunk girls. He says drunk girls should get outs of the pool and goes to the room before they gets drownded."
"Well just who does that old duffer think he is? My father?" Ginny complained. "Did you ask what kind of cigars they are smoking?"
Maisy shook her head and popped suddenly from the room. Within a moment she popped back in. "Master Malfoy says they is Cuban Cigars."
"Oh. Those are supposed to wonderful." Hermione's eyes lit up. "Go tell Mr. Malfoy we want one."
"Who does he think he is?" Ginny pouted. "It's a Hen Party we're meant to be having a piss up."
Maisy had returned to the room, looking even more nervous then she had before. Wringing her tiny hands, she stared at the floor, her ears drooping. "Master Malfoy says no whiskey. But he will gives a cigar and a bottle of champagne if you is promising to go to the rooms before someone is drowning. And he says you is to stop making silly demands as you is upsetting the house elf." She frowned looking confused, her ears twitched frantically as she realized what she had said. "But I is the house elf." She whispered in a tiny voice.
"Oh Maisy." Luna said gently. "Are we upsetting you?"
Maisy shook her head, her ears drooping, her fingers clutching nervously at the hem of her dress.
"Come on." Luna said, climbing out of the pool. "Let's go to the room. I'm getting all pruney anyway."
